Lead remote sensing based research, training, and capacity building of the resource base in the region on the status and dynamics of cryosphere and related processes in the HKH.

Coordinate the generation of a comprehensive glacier inventory for the HKH and reassess past inventories for change assessments in selected basins/sub-basins under the HKH Cryosphere Monitoring Programme.

Develop further training curricula, training manuals, and other necessary teaching/training materials for remote sensing based glacier mapping and monitoring with the team and coordinate the capacity building of regional partner
institutes on glacier mapping and monitoring.

Enhance the existing semi-automatic methodology for glacier mapping by including thermal bands using international knowledge and best practices.
